Container assembly for plastic bottles and the like

摘要

A container assembly is adapted for holding at least one plastic bottle which includes a capped top and a side handle with an upwardly facing flat area adjacent the handle. The assembly includes a container having a top wall, a bottom wall and side walls spanning the top and bottom walls. The side walls have a height greater than the height of the bottle so that the capped top of the bottle is spaced from the top wall when the bottle rests upright on the bottom wall. A bracing structure is positioned within the container in abutting interengagement between the flat area of the bottle and the top wall of the container to maintain the capped top of the bottle spaced from the top wall of the container.
